China News Service, September 28. According to the US "World Journal" report, in California, the price of goods has risen rapidly in recent months. The most direct feeling is that the supermarkets in Southern California have seen the prices of vegetables and meat that people consume daily.

Some people said that the prices of certain goods in some Chinese-owned supermarkets have risen sharply, and they laughed and said that they were going to be overwhelmed.

In order to balance expenses, it is more cost-effective to shop in this way instead of only patronizing Chinese-owned supermarkets. It is cheaper to switch to mainstream supermarkets.

　　Southern California resident Ms. Yang said that she felt that some items in Chinese-owned supermarkets were more expensive, and she would also search for non-Chinese-owned supermarkets.

Unless you want to eat a special vegetable or seasoning, you will go to a Chinese supermarket, otherwise other supermarkets can also meet the demand.

Her aunt originally lived in the Chinese area of ​​San Gabriel Valley, and often went to Chinese supermarkets to shop.

But since moving to Orange County, Huazi Supermarkets are far away, so rarely go to Huazi Supermarkets, and life doesn't feel any inconvenience.

　　Mr. Zhang, a South Canadian resident who also feels the soaring prices, believes that whether it is a Chinese-owned supermarket, a mainstream supermarket, or a Mexican supermarket, prices are rising.

It's just that the increase in Chinese-owned supermarkets is more obvious, and mainstream supermarkets may have been more expensive and prices are relatively stable.

And things like Costco in hypermarkets are also rising. For example, ribs have risen by about 40%, and cooking oil has risen by 15%.

　　He suggested that people can shop around when shopping, or consider going to a supermarket other than a Chinese-owned supermarket.

For example, Super King's stuff is fresh and cheap.

The Super King in Clermont feels that almost half of its customers are Chinese.

　　Mr. Zhang said that in the face of soaring prices, he can only save money.

"I used to go to the supermarket and just stuff it into the shopping cart, and throw it away if it broke. Now, facing the 13 dollars a pound of beef and two dollars a pound of Qingjiang vegetables, before I put it in the shopping cart, really Will think about it carefully."

　　Mr. Zhang said that prices have been rising since the beginning of this year, and they have soared in the past two months.

A Chinese supermarket used to sell Long Li fish fillets for US$5.99 a bag, now US$10.99, and the price of Korean cowboy bones, which used to be US$5.99 a pound, has now more than doubled.

The price of pork chops and tenderloin, which the Chinese love to eat daily, has also increased by at least 50%.

Vegetables and fruits have also risen. For example, a bag of Qingjiang vegetables is nearly two dollars, and Kyoho grapes used to be eight dollars a box, but now they are nearly 13 dollars.

　　Ms. Yang also lamented the increase in prices.

She said that she couldn't remember exactly when prices started to rise, but she felt a significant increase.

For example, soybean seedlings were originally discounted for two to three dollars a pound, but now they are 7.99 to 10.99 dollars.

She also recently discovered that, in the past, one can buy two bags of enoki mushrooms, but now one package is at least $1.99, and many supermarkets still can’t buy them.

　　According to a survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, American consumers expect that the average annual inflation rate in the next three years will reach 4%, the highest level since record in mid-2013; the median inflation rate estimate for the next year is also It rose by 0.3 percentage points to 5.2%, rising for the tenth consecutive month and also setting a record high.
